Power Apps can't resize SharePoint Created card

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am building a Power App (forms in a scrolling screen) where I want to include SharePoint system fields like Created, Created By, etc. for read-only reference, despite not including them in the patch statement for submission. The problem is that I cannot seem to make any changes to the visible formatting of the cards. Can't change border color, can't resize DataCardValue, etc. The cards are not locked. Is there a setting that I am missing that will allow me to change their appearance on the form? Screenshot is below. Thanks!

Created and Modified show no visible DataCardValue

First, you mention a Patch statement...if this is a form (which it is), then you should not be using a Patch statement to submit your form - it should be all done with the SubmitForm function.

The thing about the formatting is that the datacard displaymode is View and not Edit. When you change certain properties of Controls in the card (like the border color or size) they will not show anything because those properties are not relevant to View display mode.

You can change the display mode property of the controls to Edit while leaving the datacard in View mode. This will allow those changes while still having a read-only action.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks for the response, @RandyHayes. Yes, sorry - I haven't written the submit formula yet, and you are probably correct that it won't be a patch statement. Sorry for the confusion.
I tried as you suggested, and I still cannot change the height of the DataCardValue (for example). Please see screenshot below...

Hi @Anonymous ,

This is because the height of your card is too small and the height of the controls inside cannot be larger.
